10 of the best UK country pubs for a winter weekend

The West Arms, north Wales

A 16th-century inn in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, hidden away in the unspoilt Ceiriog Valley, this is a truly rural retreat, with stunning views towards the Berwyn mountains, surrounded by lush, rolling hills. Rooms in the old part of the inn have original oak beams and whitewashed stone walls. The award-winning restaurant focuses on local ingredients, with a good selection of Welsh gins and locally brewed ales available in the firelit bar.
